Prepared by: [insert your name] |
Objective
It is essential that Tetra Shilling Upgrade the Windows 8.1 in their computers to 10.0 to ensure increased speeds and more productivity in the organization. This is attributed to several factors, such as increased storage capacity and fewer security vulnerabilities.
The opportunity: Benefits of upgrading to Windows 10
Discuss the client’s current Windows 8 environment and the issues related to running an older version of the Windows operating system.
Operating the company using windows 8.1 has several challenges, including that Windows 8.1 has no available antiviruses. Only firewalls and internet security are available [1]. Windows 8.1 makes it difficult to move between screens because there are no options for turning tiles into icons. It has interphase that takes the user more time to become accustomed to it.
· Windows 10.0 has several essential features that would benefit Tetra Shiklling Accounting, including Cortona integration that allows easier interactions of computers, which is recommended for accounting companies [2]. This helps improve productivity because multitasking is enabled.
· Windows 10.0 supports universal applications making transitions between devices easier. This will help the company improve the user interface and interaction [1].
· Virtual desktops improve screen usability by ensuring the user does not run out of screen space.
Upgrade plan
· The recommended version of Windows 10 would be Windows 10 Enterprise.
· The best method to install the Windows 10 Enterprise is by downloading it from the Microsoft website. This is because it ensures the best security for all policies involved making it safe for the company to use.
· Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) and Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager are preferred for the deployment processes [2]. This is because they are modern and compatible with most devices.
· This will boost user interactions because the user interface is better and more friendly. However, some aspects are complex and may minimize user-friendly aspects.
Strategy for keeping the operating system updated
· Windows 10 Enterprise is more secure than the previous windows 8.1 because it has an automated security update that provides the user with notifications whenever an update is required.
· It has new security features, including the device guard protecting the computer against attacks.
· The upgrades can be conducted in phases to ensure that the business remains operating. This shall involve working with a single station to keep all other stations working.
